Britain and France, for all their talk and agreements, were not ready for war. Eight months later they still weren't ready, and got their heads handed to them, causing the fall of France and desperate retreat of Britain at Dunkirk. How would they have helped the Poles in 1939? How and where would they have "invaded"?

But this is about the film, and its version of those events. It very carefully makes it look like Britain, France and Poland were the agressors, and Hitler had nothing to do with it until he was "forced" to take action.
